T300B-S CLASS B SOTDMA AIS TRANSPONDER WITH INTERNAL SPLITTER

OVERVIEW
The T300B-S is a compact and rugged SOTDMA AIS Transponder
with built-in Antenna Splitter, designed for the demands of the small
commercial boat, fishing boat and leisure markets. It meets the Class
‘B’ (SOTDMA) standard, allowing vessels that are not required to fit
Class ‘A’ units to voluntarily fit an AIS Transponder.
When connected to an external VHF antenna and a GPS antenna (not
supplied), the T300B-S will transmit its own vessel position and data
and receive information from other AIS vessels, shore stations and
navigational aids within VHF range.
The built-in Antenna Splitter allows the unit to share a single VHF
antenna with a VHF radiotelephone, eliminating the need for a second
VHF antenna on the vessel and reducing installation time and cost.
Additionally, the unit has an FM radio output for monitoring public
service FM radio broadcasts.
The unit is initially programmed by the user with the supplied software
over a USB interface. The T300B-S is compatible with a range of
computer based navigation programs and chart plotters that accept
AIS data sentences over a NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 connection.
